Makeshift ‘shikhar’ now adorns temple’s top

A makeshift “shikhar” atop the Ram temple’s sanctum sanctorum was readied by Thursday in a race against time to pre-empt any controversy ahead of the shrine’s consecration on Jan 22. The “Gudh mandap” will be completed by Friday, the temple trust said. The trust had asked the construction firm building the structure to install a makeshift top after theories started floating around about whether it was appropriate to schedule the consecration before the entire temple was ready.
